Description

DEHYDRATION OF ALCOHOLS OVER TUNGSTOSILICIC ACID SUPPORTED ON SILICA
The present invention relates to a process for the dehydration of alcohols to the corresponding olefins, and in particular, using heteropolyacid catalysts.
The dehydration of alcohols to olefins catalysed using a wide variety of acid catalysts is well-known.
WO 2007/003899 and WO 2007/003901, for example, describe reactive distillation processes for the dehydration of mixed alcohols. The preferred catalysts are heteropolyacids, most preferably impregnated on a support at a loading of 30 to 50 wt% based on the total weight of heteropolyacid and support. For a heteropolyacid support with a surface area of 315 m2/g (typical for Grace 57 silica which is one of the preferred supports in WO 2007/03899 and WO 2007/003901), this range corresponds to a loading of approximately 1.4 to 3.2 mg/m2 of catalyst support surface area.
It has now been found that significant advantages are found in alcohol dehydration by supported heteropolyacid catalysts by selection of specific catalyst loadings. In particular, it has surprisingly been found that over a relatively narrow range of loadings improved ethylene productivity and reduced carbon formation on the catalyst is obtained.
Accordingly, in a first aspect the present invention provides a process for the dehydration of one or more alcohols, which process comprises contacting one or more alcohols in the presence of one or more ethers with a supported heteropolyacid catalyst, characterised in that:
(i) the heteropolyacid is tungstosilicic acid in the form of the free acid and supported on a silica support, (ii) said supported heteropolyacid catalyst has a heteropolyacid loading of from 0.5 to 0.9 mg/m2 of catalyst support surface area, and (iii) that said process comprises passing the one or more alcohols and one or more ethers in the vapour phase over a bed of the supported heteropolyacid catalyst at a temperature between 2000C and 28O0C.
Preferably, the one or more alcohols is a mixture of alcohols, especially comprising ethanol and propanol. Higher alcohols may also be present, but preferably the heaviest alcohols are C6 alcohols. The one or more alcohols may be provided as any suitable feed comprising said alcohols. The feed may also comprise one or more ethers, such as diethyl ether, dipropyl ether and ethyl propyl ether.
The feed may also comprise water, typically in an amount of less than 10wt%, for example l-7wt%.
Heteropolyacids usually have a high molecular weight e.g. in the range from 700- 8500 and include dimeric complexes.
The heteropolyacid in the present invention is in the form of the free acid (or at least predominantly in the form of the free acid, by which is meant that at least 50% of the heteropolyacid present is in the form of the free acid).
The heteropolyacid used in the process of the present invention is tungstosilicic acid in the form of the free acid and supported on a silica support. For avoidance of doubt, this includes its compositional analogues.
The heteropolyacid is used on a support at an acid loading of 0.5 to 0.9 mg/m2 of catalyst support surface area.
Preferably the acid loading is at least 0.6 mg/m2 such as at least 0.7 mg/m2 of catalyst support surface area.
Preferably the acid loading is less than 0.85 mg/m2, such as less than 0.8mg/m2, of catalyst support surface area. Catalyst support surface area, as used herein, refers to BET surface area, as measured according to ASTM D 3663-03, with measurement of 50 points on the adsorption and desorption isotherms, and a degassing temperature of 25O0C.
As noted above, it has now been found that significant advantages are obtained in alcohol dehydration by supported heteropolyacid catalysts by selection of the specific catalyst loadings. In particular, it has surprisingly been found that over a relatively narrow range of loadings improved ethylene productivity and reduced carbon formation on the catalyst is obtained.
Preferred silica supports may be porous synthetic silicas in the form of extrudates or pellets, for example as described in EP 0 704 240 Al . The support is suitably in the form of particles having a diameter of 2 to 10 mm, preferably 4 to 6 mm. The support suitably has a pore volume in the range from 0.3-1.2 ml/g, preferably from 0.6-1.0 ml/g. The support suitably has a crush strength of at least 2 Kg force, suitably at least 5 Kg force, preferably at least 6 Kg and more preferably at least 7 Kg. The crush strengths quoted are based on average of that determined for each set of 50 particles on a CHATTILLON tester which measures the minimum force necessary to crush a particle between parallel plates. The support suitably has an average pore radius (prior to use) of 10 to 500
Angstroms, preferably an average pore radius of 40 to 180 Angstroms. An example of a particularly preferred support is Grace 57 silica. Grace 57 silica has a bulk density of approximately 0.4 g/1 and a surface area of approximately 315 m2/g, and thus the range 0.5 to 0.9 mg/m2 corresponds to an approximate loading of 13 to 22 wt% of the heteropolyacid based on the total weight of heteropolyacid and support.
In one embodiment, therefore, the supported heteropolyacid catalyst used for the present invention preferably has a heteropolyacid loading comprising 13-22 wt% of the heteropolyacid based on the total weight of heteropolyacid and support, and more preferably comprises 15 to 21 wt% of heteropolyacid based on the total weight of heteropolyacid and support.
In order to achieve optimum performance, the support is suitably free of extraneous metals or elements which might adversely affect the catalytic activity of the system.
The synthesis of heteropolyacids, and their impregnation onto supports where required, may be performed by any known methods, such as those described in EP 0 704 240 Al 5 EP 1 140 703 Bl, WO 2007/003901 and North, E. O.; "Organic Synthesis" 1 p. 129 (1978), published by Huntington N. Y.
If required the heteropolyacid may be purified, for example by using liquid/liquid extraction with a suitable solvent, such as described in EP 1 140 703 Bl. The reaction of the process of the present invention may be performed under any suitable conditions.
Relatively high temperatures are used in the process of the present invention. In particular, the temperature is above 200 0C and less than 28O0C.
In a particular embodiment, the temperature is at least 23O0C, for example 2300C to 28O0C. It has been found that a relatively low level of alkane formation compared to the desired alkene is obtained when reacting the catalyst of the present invention at relatively high temperatures, even in the presence of ethers in the feed.
As a general rule, ethers in the feed can promote formation of alkanes. Thus, reacting a feed comprising ethanol without diethyl ether being present results in relatively low formation of ethane in ethylene whereas reaction of a feed which is essentially diethyl ether and water in the absence of ethanol will still produce ethylene but will result in the formation of large quantities of ethane in the produced ethylene. Contrary to what is suggested from these results it has been found that significant quantities of ethers can be tolerated in the feed comprising one or more alcohols according to the present invention without significantly increased alkane make compared to absence of the ethers.
The amount of ethers that can be tolerated without significantly increased alkane make can be higher, but typically the relative weight of ethers to alcohols in the feed to the process of the present invention is less than 2:1, especially less than 60wt% ethers and at least 30wt% alcohols.
This tolerance to ethers and reduced alkane make gives significant process advantages. Firstly, this results in a product stream which requires less purification of the desired olefins in the first place, simplifying downstream processing. Secondly, the process of the present invention usually produces a product stream comprising the desired olefins (dehydration product), unreacted alcohols and ethers, and the unreacted alcohols and ethers can be recycled to the process without significantly affecting the product quality.
In addition, the use of relatively high temperatures can provide improved selectivity to alkene compared to ethers in the first place, minimizing the quantity of ethers formed and subsequently required to be recycled. The reaction may be performed at atmospheric or elevated pressure. Preferably, the reaction is performed at elevated pressure, especially at least 5 barg, more preferably at least 10 barg. Preferably, the pressure is less than 40 barg.
The reaction is performed at any suitable gas hourly space velocity. Preferably, the reaction is performed at a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) in the range 1 to 10 (ml feed/ml catalyst/hour). Examples Catalyst Preparation 12-tungstosilicic acid.xH2O (H4SiW12O40.xH2O, x being about 24) was used as Acid A.
For catalyst preparation using Acid A, samples of Acid A were dissolved in distilled water to which was added orthophosphoric acid, Grace 57 silica (specific surface area of 310.5 m /g) was then added in the amounts required for the desired acid loadings. Each sample was allowed to soak for 24 hours, and after soaking the catalyst was drained of excess solution for 1 hour and then dried in air for 16 hours at 1050C.
For K modification (for comparative examples), samples of Acid A were dissolved in distilled water to which was added orthophosphoric acid. In a separate container KHCO3 was dissolved in water and then slowly added, with stirring, to the acid solution. (The quantity of KHCO3 was chosen so as to provide one molar equivalent of potassium per mole of 12-tungstosilicic acid.xH2O dissolved in the solution). The above solution was stirred for 15 minutes after the evolution of CO2 had ceased. This is used as Acid B.
For catalyst preparation using Acid B, samples of the above solution of Acid B were added to Grace 57 silica in the amounts required for the desired acid loadings. Each sample was allowed to soak for 24 hours, and after soaking the catalyst was drained of excess solution for 1 hour and then dried in air for 16 hours at 1050C.
Catalysts were prepared as follows:

Catalyst Testing
Atmospheric pressure tests
Catalysts were screened at atmospheric pressure. A feed comprising 10% ethanol in helium was passed in the vapour phase over the catalyst for a period of 12 hours at a temperature of 21O0C, and then replaced with a feed comprising 5% diethyl ether (DEE) in helium for a period of 5 days, again at 21O0C. The feed was then returned to 10% ethanol in helium for 12 hours at 21O0C, followed by a final 12 hours at 19O0C. A liquid hourly space velocity of 1.3 ml/ml/hr was used throughout. Elevated pressure tests
Several catalysts were also tested at elevated pressure.
The test equipment for elevated pressure tests consisted of a Hastelloy fixed bed reactor, which was electrically heated via two independently controlled heating zones. A charge of 50ml catalyst was loaded into the reactor such that it was entirely contained within the heated zones. Liquids were fed to the reactor via a constametric HPLC pump via a trace heated line, entering the reactor as a vapour. Liquid products were collected in a catch-pot and gaseous products passed to a wet gas meter to measure the volume of gas generated. Analysis of liquid and gaseous samples was via Gas Liquid Chromatography for organic components, and Karl Fischer titration for water content.
A feed comprising 58wt% ethanol, 38wt% diethyl ether (DEE) and 4wt% water (which represents a feed for a process with recycle of ethers and unreacted alcohol) was passed in the vapour phase to the reactor at a pressure of 20 barg and liquid hourly space velocities of 1-9 ml/ml/hr. Experiments were performed at reactor inlet temperature of 200- 26O0C over a period of at least 300 hours. Results Atmospheric pressure tests
Results for ethylene production from the feed comprising 10% ethanol in helium are shown in Figure 1 after the first 12 hours and in Figure 2 after 5 days. (Both graphs and both catalysts are normalised to 100 based on the maximum ethylene production from catalysts with Acid A in Figure 1.) It can be seen that an optimum in ethylene productivity is observed within the acid loading range of the present invention, the optimum being particularly pronounced after the longer time on stream shown in Figure 2, showing both an improvement in ethylene productivity and a reduced deactivation rate within the range of the present invention.
The graphs also show a surprising improvement in catalyst stability when using a supported tungsto silicic acid with no cation modification (Acid A). In particular, catalysts of Acid A do not deactivate to any measurable extent for HPA loadings of 0.62 and 0.77 mg/m2
Figure 3 represents carbon analysis results from Catalyst A after removal from the reactor. Reduced carbon lay-down is observed within the range of acid loading of the present invention, (with a minimum between 0.5 to 0.9 mg/m2 of catalyst support surface area) consistent with the reduced deactivation rate shown by comparison between Figures
1 and 2.
Elevated pressure tests
Results for ethylene selectivity versus time on stream are shown in Figure 4 for three catalysts. The results are normalised to highlight the differences in the relative rate of deactivation. The results are consistent with those shown in Figures 1 to 3 at atmospheric pressure. In particular, it can be seen that the catalyst of Acid A (catalyst 3) with a loading of 0.77 mg/m2 shows lower deactivation than the two catalysts of Acid B, whether at the same loading of 0.77 mg/m2 (catalyst 7) or with a higher loading. The catalyst according to the present invention also produced a product with relatively low ethane impurity in the produced ethylene. In particular, the ethane in ethylene was below 500ppm throughout the 360 hours of the experiment.
Alkane make versus Temperature
Figure 5 shows the ethane production from Catalyst A as tested at a liquid hourly space velocity of 6 ml/ml/hour, with recycle of unreacted alcohols and ethers at elevated pressure of 2 MPa. The feed composition was 58wt% ethanol, 38wt% diethyl ether (DEE) and 4wt% water (which represents a potential feed for a process with recycle of ethers and unreacted alcohol).
Figure 5 shows that despite the elevated temperatures, across the range tested the ethane production is maintained below 500 ppm, whereas an increase in ethane make with temperature might have been expected.
Figure 5 also shows that the amount of ethane produced was relatively low despite the fact that ethers are present in the feed, whereas increased ethane production might again have been expected from the presence of ethers in the feed. This is further illustrated in the following example. Effect of diethyl ether co-feed
Experiments were performed as for the elevated pressure tests detailed above, with a space velocity of 6 ml/ml/hour and at a pressure of 2 MPa, except that three experiments were performed with different feeds over the same catalyst at 240°C to investigate the effect of the feed composition on the ethane impurity in the ethylene produced.
Feed 1 was a feed comprising essentially diethylether, comprising 97wt% diethyl ether and 3wt% water.
Feed 2 had no diethylether and comprised 95.4wt% ethanol and 4,6wt% water.
Feed 3 comprised 58wt% ethanol, 38wt% diethyl ether (DEE) and 4wt% water (which represents a potential feed for a process with recycle of ethers and unreacted alcohol).
Feed 1 resulted in the formation of 1 169 ppm ethane in ethylene and feed 2 resulted in the formation of 466 ppm ethane in ethylene. Comparison of these results shows that reaction of diethyl ether results in significantly increased formation of ethane in the product ethylene. Feed 3, however, resulted in only 463 ppm of ethane in ethylene despite the presence of significant quantities of diethyl ether in the feed. Contrary to what is suggested from the result using diethyl ether and water only (Feed 1), therefore, these examples show that nearly 40wt% of diethyl ether can be tolerated without significantly increased alkane make compared to absence of diethyl ether.
